  Hoadley S. Brockway died at his home in Jenks township, Forest county,
  Wednesday, Dec 27th 1911, after an illness of but a few days, although for some
  years past he had not been in robust health.  The subject of this sketch was
  born about 64 years ago at the old Brockway homestead, two mile west of
  Marienville, where his last days were spent, his parents being Aaron and Keziah
  (buffum) Brockway, deceased.  When quite young a serious illness left him a
  cripple, and he fitted himself for teaching, a profession he followed until
  elected county superintendent of schools, which office he held for two terms. 
  He was afterward engaged in the hotel business in Tionesta for a number of
  years, following which he removed to Spartansburg, Crawford county, where he
  conducted a hotel.  He again removed to Jenks township, locating in Marienville
  and for several years held the office of justice of the peace.  In politics he
  was always an ardent Republican, and as chairman of that party conducted several
  successful campaigns in this county.  Mr. Brockway was a man of generous
  impulses, kind-hearted and loyal to his friends, and will be much missed in the
  community in which the greater portion of his life was spent.  Surviving him is
  his wife, who was Miss Mahala Daughtery, and these children:  Arthur of
  Pittsburg, Earl and Mrs. Frances, wife of Ralph Wilkins, of Warren Pa.  Two
  sisters, Mrs. John Heath of Jenks township, and one living in Pittsburg, and one
  brother, Welker Brockway of Eagle Rock, Pa., also survive him.  Funeral services
  in his memory were held at his late home on Friday, Rev. H.E. Phipps of
  Marienville officiating, and interment was in Rose Cemetery.

  Obituary is from Tionesta Library (Tionesta library has obits clipped and in
  envelopes and in plastic shoe box containers in alphabetical order)  Easy to
  find – but  the newspaper  the obit was originally printed in, is not noted.
